●Special environment, such as those with combustible atmosphere - Locations that emit radiation, X-rays, salt attack or corrosive gases.
- Locations where medicine is used such as pool.
● Use of this product and cables connected to this product at locations where strong electric waves and magnetic waves are generated (e.g., near radio, TV, transformer, monitor, etc.) may cause noise interferences in the images or changes in the color.
●Inadequate heat ventilation may result in malfunction of this product.
Be sure not to block vents around the product.
This product discharges heat from the surface of the main unit.
- Do not install it at locations directly subjected to cold air such as near the vents of air-conditioners or at locations with high temperature. Condensation may occur inside the dome cover.
- When using TK-C685WPE/TK-C686WPE in a low temperature environment (-40°C to 50°C), video images may not appear for as long as two hours until the internal part is warmed up by the built-in heater. When using it in a low temperature environment, therefore, it is recommended that electric power be supplied at all times.
Transportation
●Do not throw away the original box of the unit. Keep it and use it for transporting the unit in future.
●As the camera unit is of an easily rotatable structure, secure the camera unit inside the dome cover such that it does not rotate before transporting. Otherwise, an error may occur during camera operation.
① Face the heat release vents upward and secure the lens section with tape.
②Insert cushioning material wrapped with air caps (approx. 50 mm x 200 mm) at two opposite sides of the camera.
- When mounting ceiling mount bracket to the camera unit during transportation, let out the tip of fall prevention wire so that it is not caught. If the fall prevention wire is caught in the gap of ceiling mount bracket, the ceiling mount bracket might not be able to detached from the camera unit.(TK-C685E/TK-C686E)

Others
- Do not subject the lens to strong light source such as sun rays. This may cause the equipment to malfunction.
●This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The sensitivity increases automatically at a dark place and the screen may appear grainy. This is not a malfunction.
●While AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong electromagnetic wave is used near the camera, the picture may suffer from beat. Please use the camera more than three meters away from such transceivers. - When automatic iris is selected and AGC is ON, even if the iris setting is changed using the Iris Control button, the Increase Sensitivity function will be enabled and the brightness of the screen may not change. In this case, set AGC to OFF or set the iris to Manual.
- When automatic iris is selected, the Iris Control button may not work depending on the brightness of the screen (when the amount of light is not sufficient). In this case, set the iris to Manual.
- When this camera is used in the White Balance ATW-N, ATW-W (automatic adjustment) mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color due to the principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.
- If a high brightness object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have white vertical tailings. This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of solid-state image sensors and is not a malfunction.
●The electronic shutter of this unit is set to 1/50 seconds by default. Use the remote control unit to change the electronic shutter to 1/120 seconds under fluorescent lighting in regions with commercial power of frequency 60 Hz. (Sensitivity level decreases slightly when this is set to 1/120 seconds.) - When the same position is monitored for 24 hours continuously over a long period, the increased contact resistance on the horizontal rotation section may cause noise interferences in the images and operation from the remote control unit may become unstable. Therefore, turn off and on the system power once a week to initialize the camera and clean the contact.
- Do not touch the dome cover with your hands. Dirty covers will cause image deterioration.
- Do not subject the dome cover to strong impact. It may result in damage and water seepage.
●The dome cover may fog due to the drastic change of temperature when humidity is high. - Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 230 V power supply. The camera will be damaged. If the wrong cable is connected, the internal circuit will be damaged. Stop using the camera and send it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair. (Chargeable)
●To supply AC 24 V, use a AC 24 V supplying power unit that is insulated from AC 230 V line.
●As the dome cover is of a semiglobular shape, image distortion will occur at the hemispherical edge. When the hemispherical edge of this unit is masked and horizontal level is shot in a tilt direction, the hemispherical edge will enter the field angle. This may cause the upper edge of the screen to become black and the focus unclear. In this case, you can choose not to shoot the above area by using the tilt limit settings (Page 41).
- When shooting objects with a luminance difference or near a light source, ghost may occur on the screen. This is a feature of the dome cover and the built-in lens, and is not a malfunction.
●In particular, manual and auto pan operation near the TELE edge (telephoto side) may cause the screen to vibrate (unsmooth rotation). This is a feature of the motor and is not a malfunction.
●Long magnification zoom lens embedded into this product. Although the focus might be slightly unclear depending on the drastic change of temperature, it will not be a malfunction.
- When you preset focus, we ask you to adjust under actual usage temperature. If you feel unclear focus, please re-preset focus.
●Additionally, we recommend you to use either One Push AF or Manual focus adjustment when you feel unclear focus at your temperature environment.
Maintenance
●Turn off the power before performing maintenance.
●Wipe using a soft cloth. Wiping it with thinner or benzene may melt the surface or cause it to fog. For tough stains, wipe using a cloth that is dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.
Saving Energy
- When the camera is not in use for a long time, turn off the power of the system for safety and energy conservation reasons.
Disclaimer
●The Motion Detect feature is not designed to prevent thefts or fire disasters. Our company shall not be liable for any inconveniences or failures that occur.
●We shall not be responsible for any inconveniences or disturbances caused in the event of privacy invasion as a result of camera footages of this product.

text_image
Power cable To AC24V powerWhen using 2-core VVF (Vinyl-insulated vinyl-sheath cable), the connection distance is as follows: (Reference value)
| Maximum connection distance | 100 m 260 m 410 m | 500 m | ||
| Conductor diameter (AWG No.) | ø1.4 mm (15) and above | ø2.3 mm (11) and above | ø2.9 mm (9) and above | ø3.2 mm (8) and above |
Note :
●To supply AC 24 V, use a AC 24 V supplying power unit that is insulated from AC 230 V line.
- If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when the camera is at its maximum power consumption (when pan, tilt and zoom operates at the same time). Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place the power supply near to the camera and shorten the length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the rated current of camera to below 10% . If voltage drops during operation, the camera may experience unstable performance and be unable to call up the preset position correctly.
- Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 230 V power supply. The camera will be damaged. If the wrong cable is connected, the internal circuit will be damaged. Stop using the camera and send it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair. (Chargeable)
●Turn on the power only after the connection for all the devices is complete.

Memo :
- When operating a system using the RM-P2580, several cameras can be connected and used on one control signal cable. Consequently, an incorrect switch setting on just a single camera will cause the entire system to work incorrectly.
●The following screen appears when Pelco protocol is used. Check to ensure that the display items are consistent with the system.

Cable Connection
Connecting the alarm signal cable
■Alarm input signal
Connects to sensors such as infrared sensors, door sensors, metal sensors and manual switches.
- To prevent noise from entering the internal circuit, supply non-voltage contact signal to the alarm input signal.
- Do not supply voltage.
- When the contact is short (MAKE) or open (BREAK) on the menu, you can set it to Alarm.
●Supply such that the alarm signal continues for at least more than 200 ms. The alarm signal may not be recognized if it is less than 200 ms.

■Alarm output signal
Connects to alarm devices such as alarm, indicator, light or buzzer
- Alarm output 1 signal is the contact output. When there is an alarm, the OUT1NOP-COM will become short (MAKE) and OUT1NCL-COM will become open (BREAK).

Rating:
Max. applied voltage
:DC 30 V or AC 24 V
Max. applied current:1 A
Contact life :100,000 times
- Alarm output 2 signal is an open collector output insulated with photo coupler.
●During an alarm, it is ON. - As this cable is polarized, be sure to connect it such that the voltage of the + terminal is higher than that of the - terminal.
- It will be damaged if reverse voltage is supplied.

Rating:
Max. applied voltage: DC 20 V
Max. driving current:25 mA
Memo :
- When alarm is switched ON/OFF, a sound will be produced from the alarm output 1 relay. If you do not want to hear the sound, use the alarm output 2 cable. However, be sure not to exceed the rating.
Connecting the control signal cable
The maximum connection distance with RM-P2580 is 1,200 m. (Multiple cameras can be connected on one cable for RM-P2580 but the total length of the cable must be within 1,200 m.)

- We recommend the use of paired cables or twisted pair cables used in Ethernet rather than 0.61-4-core (2 pairs) cables.
- Thickness of the cable is 0.4mm to 1.3mm .
- Arrange the control signal cables such that the TX+ and TX-signals and RX+ and RX-signals are pairs.
Connecting the power cable
Connecting AC 24 V power
Connect an AC 24 V power cable to AC 24 V power supply.

text_image
Solder welding or crimping Insulating tapeWhen using 2-core VVF (Vinyl-insulated vinyl-sheath cable), the connection distance is as follows: (Reference value)
| Conductor diameter | AWG#16 | AWG#14 | AWG#12 | AWG#10 |
| Maximum connection distance | 40 m 70 | m 110 m | 180 m |
Note :
●To supply AC 24 V, use a AC 24 V supplying power unit that is insulated from AC 230 V line.
- If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when the camera is at its maximum power consumption (when pan, tilt and zoom operates at the same time). Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place the power supply near to the camera and shorten the length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the rated current of camera to below 10% . If voltage drops during operation, the camera may experience unstable performance and be unable to call up the preset position correctly.
- Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 230 V power supply. The camera will be damaged.
- If the wrong cable is connected, the internal circuit will be damaged. Stop using the camera and send it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair. (Chargeable)
- Turn on the power only after the connection for all the devices is complete.

- [SET] is invalid during panning. Press the [SET] button after panning has stopped.
■Basic Operation of Manual Pan Limit
- When manual pan limit is set, panning is only available in the effective area.
●This operation has priority over manual pan limit. When the camera is moved to a prohibited area and manual panning is performed, it operates in the following manner. - Panning can be operated freely even in the prohibited area before the camera enters the effective area.
- Once the camera enters the effective area, the manual pan limit settings take over and pan operation can only be performed in the effective area.
●Operations that have priority over manual pan limit
The following operations are available regardless of the prohibited areas set in manual pan limit.
●Auto Pan
●Auto Trace
- Move Preset Position
- Flip
●Motion Detect (Tracking) Operation
●Settings that have priority over manual pan limit
The following menu settings come together with pan operation but they can be set regardless of the prohibited areas even when manual pan limit has been configured.
●Private Mask Setting
●Auto Pan setting
●Area Display Mode (Title) setting
●Area Display Mode (Direction) setting
Memo :
- When setting Auto Trace and Preset Position and the manual pan limit setting is "ON", panning is unavailable in the prohibited area.
●However, as Auto Trace and Move Preset Position have priority over manual pan limit, set Auto Trace and Preset Position before setting manual pan limit. This will allow both functions to operate in the prohibited area even when manual pan limit is set.
Camera Title Setting
A maximum of 16 characters can be set for the title. It is permanently displayed on the bottom left of the screen. The display position can be set for RM-P2580. (註) Page 38 [POS.TITLE LOC.])
